CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I went on this cruise with a bunch of girlies from susan's place a couple weeks ago and came back with the hon-tavirus

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems - yes. I am sorry you had to deal with that.. I'm fortunate at the moment to have to only deal with my own high expectations

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems @kevingranade@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm imagining the sycophantic AI responses today: "Thank you Ma'am. Of course you can flay my genitalia with a potato peeler. What an great and imaginative top you are!"

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems As long as trans women consternate, second-guess, and tear apart their own psycho-sexualities before allowing themselves to be trans feminine there will be a need for Forced-Fem jokes, insights, and incitements. The history of Forced-Fem fiction and memes is the history of trans women trying to assert some control over their own bodies and desires.

@YKantRachelRead I will correcct myself, due to orbital wobble fuckery, periapsis and solstice days fo not match, instead it is supposed to be around jan 3, still at noon

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems @jake2@kolektiva.social @patchuun@social.xenofem.me I feel like there's a difference between specific boycotts (eg. BDS) and anti-consumerist calls, and the more generic anti-consumerism signaled among many leftists and reactionaries. Specific anti-consumerist actions are generally designed to increase pressure or economic harm with specific goals (eg. eliminating child labor, creating pressure for Israel to change policies, etc) but they do not reject capitalism as a whole - they assume purchases can be made elsewhere or are optional. General anti-consumerism takes a near hyperbolic approach, where we're told any participation in capitalist economics is always "feeding the dragon." While this is ultimately true, it's also a bit of pointless rhetoric as one cannot escape capitalism and more then a fish may escape water.

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems ...and "Don't forget your Blair White in the closet. You hardly play with her anymore!"

@YKantRachelRead and just because someone manages to wrestle an llm into something that helps them, that doesn't make it *good*. this is not a credit to the llm, it's a sad example of how disabled people have to fend for themselves with limited resources.actual real accessibilty is much better and doesn't require boiling the planet, widespread theft, or consolidating power in the hands of fascists.

@patchuun oh totally hehe, the above was 100% a shitpost

@YKantRachelRead @Undercat is this from "Field Diaries of the Lesbian Hordes"

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems @jonahgibberish@kolektiva.social isn't that trampletized? I knew girl who loved that...

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems It's this constant notion of "both-sides-ism" where there is always some kind of equal and oppositional bigotry. It's the reason they hang on to the mansosphere language and regularly shout "Not All Men!". These are defense mechanisms to try to exclude or ameliorate themselves from the systemic prejudices and power imbalances in our culture. I've literally had discussions with tans masc folks who will go deep into feminist theory and then turn around and argue that it doesn't apply to trans women, but does apply to trans men. The 'othering' of us very real, and it's little wonder why so many trans fems are separatists.

I know that ChatGPT isn't sentient because when I tell it, "assume that I never lie. now assess the truth of the following statement: I'm lying," it doesn't kick off an infinite loop and blow up every data center in the world

@steff@soc.femme.cat @YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems aww thank you that’s so sweet of you <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://social.translunar.academy/emoji/bunhd/bunhdheart.png" title=":bunhdheart:" />

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems @anhedonie@chaosfem.tw There was a time 3-4 years ago(?) when fediblock notices were flying around hourly. things have gotten a lot better since drama around tbs has died down, but some admins and folks continue to try to push their interpersonal drama and politics into the tag. The nature of decentalized architecture and moderation means some of this is inevitable, but far preferable to having a Zuckerberg, Musk, or other algorithm making decisions from on-high.
